    How to use the new forum.

    Well Denny, I can try to help you out! To find bookmarked items scroll to the top of the screen and click on gear icon way to the right...should bring a pop up that allows you to click on bookmarks. As for pictures, at top of chat box there is a bunch of icons, just to the left of smiley face is...

    How to use the new forum.

    I seem to have a problem with finding/doing things on here that most do not. Some are simple, like finding things I have bookmarked, or how to post a picture--see what I mean!?? Is there a FAQ or similar to go to? HELP, SEARCH , Terms and rules, haven't 'helped'. I have asked this same...

    HAM from fresh picnics.. update 10/21 ... MONEY ..

    Thanks daveomak and everyone! I have ordered Ames phos to use with STTP (not together!) along with Kitchen Basics Vegetable no-salt stock so it looks like I will be busy checking out my new Auber 1510H-W controller. I previously built a controller around an Auber SMD-200A which works perfectly...

    HAM from fresh picnics.. update 10/21 ... MONEY ..

    Thanks daveomak! That helps and I'll steer clear of Tetrasodium pyrophosphate! I have STPP (untried) and may get some Amesphos so was wondering if there is a worthwhile difference between the two. So little time to try so many options! Appreciate everyone's help.

    Questions on SMD200a settings, best wood pellets, pellets vs chips

    You know, I had considered welding blankets but dismissed them because of being so thin and itchy fibreglass material. Just couldn't get it thru my head that they would work. If you were satisfied with the ability to to turn cold and pretty heavy winds, it looks like I need to rethink the...

    Questions on SMD200a settings, best wood pellets, pellets vs chips

    Yeah, I know I have to get back into the manual but I was hoping to learn of some tried and tested non-default settings for comparison. And of course I do need to be refreshed on MY settings! Thanks dr. k for your help.

    Questions on SMD200a settings, best wood pellets, pellets vs chips

    I have a MES 40S with a mail-box and amnps maze tray set up and an Auber SMD200A PID. Have been using it for about 2 years or so and been very happy. Long enough for new developments, practices and ideas to appear that I quite likely haven't heard about; possibly because I don't visit here...

    Tripping GFCI

    Alright! Now that's what I needed! A primer-level how- to! After my post yesterday, the matter of neutral and ground continued to bother me. I took the green wires loose and taped them off. Didn't touch the white wires at all. I plugged in a small fan as the load (instead of the large...

    Tripping GFCI

    Thank you both for taking the time to respond. dernek--respectfully, I don't know how to "connect neutral feeder" as you suggest. What would I connect from where to where and if necessary, what should I disconnect? Can you please explain so even a dummy can understand? Steve--I have the...

    Tripping GFCI

    This control box for my smoker is tripping the GFCI. The new GFCI and the receptacle at the circuit end have been checked with a tester. Wiring of the black wire is consistent thru the plugs, receptacle and elsewhere and verified. The box is plastic so all grounds and white wires are...

    Power-out LED on continously

    Yes, I made an error on the drawing--the TC goes on pins 7 and 8, not 3 and 4!! However, I did at least wire it correctly! With frustration almost at the apoplectic level, I disconnected and reconnected every screw and several solder points this morning. At the ground terminal strip, I...

    Power-out LED on continously

    Here I am, asking you for help, and I make you visualize a circuit I am describing, rather than show you a diagram! (In my defense I should say that the whole process of sending a pic from my camera to you is something I have to relearn everytime!). So here is the latest diagram, if it goes...

    Power-out LED on continously

    Keith, thank you. I believe I've got it straight, but...please try to follow my thinking here, step by step: Hot AC goes to PID 2 and SSR 2-- Then, neutral goes to PID 1 (in my world it is coming from the other end of the element)-- SSR 1 goes to hot side of element-- Does this look correct to...

    Power-out LED on continously

    Thanks for the really quick reply! It seems to me that our diagrams are mostly the same--just mirror images of each other. I have AC in going to PID 1 rather than PID 2. Yours has AC going to PID 2 rather than PID 1. I think either way is OK as polarity isn't involved. If I can explain it...

    Power-out LED on continously

    Ok, here is a diagram if I can make this work. This shows when I had the 12v PS in the circuit for the LED. I removed the PS entirely and connected the LED directly to SSR pins 3 and 4, pos to pos, neg to neg. It works, with the LED pulsing, just as expected. BUT, is there a constant idle...

    Power-out LED on continously

    Jack, your idea still looks good, but when I wire that way, my add-on 12v LED doesn't lite, although my fan (the load) pulses and runs slowly. Now my LED is 12v and to drive it, I used a 12v output, 110v input power supply. The line input of the power supply is connected to SSR pin 4 Jack and...

    Power-out LED on continously

    Duh!! Simplicity at it's finest! OK, I owe you... Reminds me---Charlie Brown is trying without success to get his kite airborne. His thought bubble is filled with many mathematic, algebraic, and engineering formulae. Lucy is also flying a kite, way, way up there. Her thought bubble is "2 + 2...
